After months of working on the digital version of this image, I have finally completed the CMYK Silkscreen of the “Building…”

There were a lot of edits and changes/corrections that needed to be made to this single panel page of the Iron Man comic I have been working from for the last few years. You can see a copy of the original image on this blog post: http://josephlupo.com/2011/06/01/work-in-progress-slowly/

This image will be included in a print portfolio I am organizing featuring printmakers who are inspired by comics. (more to come about that later…)

This week was our annual WVU BFA Exhibition opening reception in the Mesaros Galleries at the Creative Arts Center. This year we had nine printmaking majors graduate: Brittany Ferguson, Brendan Sellaro, John-Mike Barone, Kayla Dolby, Logan Jones, Hayli McKinstry, Erin Crouse, Jarrod Ott, and Glenn Hess. It is a really nice show, with the printmakers representing our program well. Congratualtions to my graduating seniors, you guys are a talented group and you will be missed!

A very crowded opening! It was so packed, it was hard to get good pictures of the artwork…

Friday April 6th saw the closing reception for “Blowfish“, an exhibition from the three 2011 WVU/AIR interns Brittany Ferguson, Kayla Dolby, and Brendan Sellaro. It was a great night and a good turnout! Really good live music from a Morgantown band called Bonfire, and local hotdogs from the “FRANKTUARY”.

Brittany Ferguson. Her work is really delicate, and my pics from that night don’t really do the real prints justice…

More Brittany…her work was also shown on Printeresting recently as part of their SGCI coverage!
